Hi all,

Following my recent post, I have the following code (inserting a column using a user input) that works:

(Code)

colLetter = InputBox("Please enter replication factor column:", "Factor column")

Columns(colLetter).Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove

(/Code)

And based on the input, I'm trying to automate the insertion of other columns by an offset of 2, but I am missing the correct syntax:

(Code)

Columns(colLetter.Offset(0, 2)).Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove

(/Code)

I would like to know if there is a proper way to write this line?

Thanks in advance,
Nicolas
